So I was scheduled to start Monday May 21st but the Thursday before that I got a call around 4:45 from Paul, the assistant editor at Panorama, asking if I could make it into Boston at 6:15 that night because their photographer couldn't make it that night. I live about 25 minutes drive outside of the city itself (that is to get to the subway) So it typically takes me an hour to get to any particular destination within the city. That being said, getting ready to go, and actually getting there would take me typically an hour and a half. Not helping the situation was the fact that all of my photo stuff was still packed (and not charged) from moving back home for the summer. Long story short I got to the event at 6:20 (don't ask how fast I drove). My job that first night was to photograph people at a store opening on Newbury Street for our Bostonian of the Day segment. We try to focus on 1. Well dressed Bostonians 2. Business/socialites of Boston 3. People who have been involved with the magazine before. This is for one of our social media pieces found on our facebook page. It was a good night, but one of the first things I learned about my internship was:
Always be ready for a last minute call into the city (and more importantly)
Always have enough gas in my car to GET to Boston
